"Right from the beginning, Dawn Rising is a fast-paced, young adult adventure that dives right into the action and doesn't stop until the last page. A.F.E. Smith has managed to put together a tale with at least five different perspectives that weave together through Alyssia's eyes, and I've certainly never encountered another story like it. With so many perspectives, I thought it would be difficult to keep everything straight, but the writing flowed so smoothly that the perspective shifts seemed almost natural [...] I can't wait to read more of the Marked series to see what happens to Alyssia and her new friends." Amy, Readers' Favorite
"This book uniquely mixes reality and issues of mental illness, discrimination, abuse, and corruptness with a fantasy world. Alyssia's visions was a captivating take to telling the lives and background stories of the other characters [...] I highly recommend this book and I cannot wait to read the next, The Dark Knife." Julia, Pages for Thoughts "Dawn Rising is an exciting modern fantasy that had me hooked from the first page [...] I loved the fantasy style of this book and how well Smith captured a mix of excitement and mystery in setting up the basic structure of the story. Alyssia is a very endearing and sympathetic character whose perspective was easy and engaging to follow." Jordan, Forever Lost in Literature "This book elbowed its way into my head as fiercely as Alyssia herself and now I can't stop thinking about it. I hope the second book comes out soon because I need to know what happens next." Charlie, Goodreads "Dawn Rising is another exquisite book by AFE Smith, written with the same sense of strength and compassion as the Darkhaven trilogy." Ed, Goodreads "Dawn Rising is a fantastic modern fantasy book with an engaging premise and a high concept [...] Wonderful prose, lots of beautiful imagery and some really fantastic use of metaphor and simile. The novel is very polished and makes for an enjoyable, immersive read." Laura-Alice, Goodreads |
